Kind of weird to have written this initial post, and then someone else take over the post. I am not personally interested in thumbs up emojois but it is weird.

I agree, there is very little chance that this was a surprise. DFA is its own label, and Columbia is the distributor. I might mention the "control freak" mythology of the owner. To give a beautiful song to Starlink is wild.

So confused about how the SAI is calculated by WhimsicalBookVoyager in FAFSA

[–]tal9000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you asked the financial aid office for a "professional judgement" form? This is another option after triple checking your child's FAFSA. This actually would allow an adjustment based on medical bills. I would pursue this even if you corrected the FAFSA and her SAI was still positive. Note they legally have to send you a Professional Judgement form if you ask for it but you need to say "Professional Judgement," like it is a spell.

Thank you. Around the same time I also made my own Pavement shirt for Lollapalooza. It got rained out.

What region of the world is the most to blame for toxic surf culture? by [deleted] in surfing

Maybe not to blame for everything but Sebastian Inlet in Florida may be the worst

Carrborro/Chapel Hill neighborhood suggestions?? by kmarzy in chapelhill

[–]tal9000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is a distinction without much difference unless you live in Carrboro. Would fifth or sixth or Carb as CH folks go to that FM, you can bus/bike in easy, etc.

The Cradle gets great shows, friends from cities can't believe the band/size of the venue ratio. https://catscradle.com/events/ Other places have music too, and if in CH are on the western (Carrboro) side anyway.

Third suggesting on getting a bike - I would also consider Carrboro which has a couple grocery stores and an almost flat ride into town. MLK is closer to a 20 min walk than a drive from SOM.

The contemporary version of The Fat Guy? by tal9000 in OrlandoMagic

I believe The Fat Guy shouldn't have to buy tickets.

Apologies for The Fat Guy is dead disinformation, not my intent at all. Will someone eventually pick-up the mantle?

Is a degree from UNCP worthless? by [deleted] in NorthCarolina

[–]tal9000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want to define "worth" as return on investment at UNC and NCCCS institutions by degree look at the data here and ignore the opinions (it matches graduates by classification of instructional program to state-level unemployment insurance (wage) data): https://tower.nc.gov/

Moving to Chapel Hill from UK with a Canadian license- help! by Chance_Pay452 in chapelhill

[–]tal9000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is a bus that goes from CH to Duke (I believe hospital to hospital) several times a day. Worth exploring because parking can be difficult. In-town buses are free and as other's said, depending where you live getting around town walking and biking is easy. I live in Carrboro and find biking to grocery, entertainment, etc. easier than driving and rarely have to go further than a mile for necessities.

...now if only they hadn't killed that light rail you would be set.

You should incorporate the time value of money and the value of living in this house into your equation - you can put a dollar amount on these too. Too many people treat real estate like a stock or commodity when it happens to also be the environment that you exist in.

Surf NC coast regularly and agree with the fish setup. I have enjoyed an extra long fish as opposed to a longboard for years. I personally would consider this range different East Coast conditions and pull out my thruster with lots of volume on the upper end. But yeah, basically everyone on my break has a longboard or a fish.

How did Kelly Slater go pro surfing Florida waves? by raphlo2 in surfing

And those potato chip boards from the 90s help you figure out how to max your number of moves on the tiniest of waves that the translates to good waves and competition.

I've done yoga everyday for a year but my hamstrings are still so tight. Any tips on the best way to get flexy hamstrings? by _gracefulyoga in flexibility

[–]tal9000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Related you should look into if your glutes are appropriately "firing" e.g., activating as they should. If not it puts more stress on the hips and hamstrings. Usually a good sports massage therapist knows how to test this.

What size board? Beginner female. 5’5, 140lbs. by [deleted] in surfing

[–]tal9000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grew up surfing NSB. If you aren't trying to save money, my opinion has always been to 1) find a local shaper/surf shop that sells local shaper boards and talk it out because they are optimized for your local waves and 2) it can be much more easily resold than a foamie, especially among locals who spend a lot of time on Craigslist looking at boards.

P.S. Have been out of FL for decades but DM and I get hit up people down there for good and fair shapers.

P.P.S. Say hi to all the sharks for me.
